[15:06] Techrights-sec possible electical storm coming, may have to power down on this end [15:06] Techrights-sec for a bit if it gets closer [15:07] schestowitz__ I checked if thunderbird has a new release, but nothing this morning. I wait for pgp-related bugfixes, if any.... [15:07] schestowitz__ maybe as a parting gift to their google masters mozilla will totally mismanage pgp [15:18] Techrights-sec I have strongly suspected willful neglect of the mail client in general [15:18] Techrights-sec and of some of its must-have features specificallyh. [15:18] Techrights-sec Notice that threading of messages is now partially broken as well. [15:19] schestowitz__ They already rendered obsolete many extensions I used. They could, instead, just keep newer gecko inside and leave the rest in tact. [15:21] schestowitz__ looks like we've made the front page somewhere... [15:26] schestowitz__ oh, I see. It's some Gates mansion arrest stuff from last year. ● May 17 [17:05] Techrights-sec https://nitter.cc/FrankScunge/status/1394320920764985346#m [17:05] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-nitter.cc | Frank (@FrankScunge): "techrights.org/2020/08/04/po" | nitter [17:05] Techrights-sec https://nitter.cc/WakkerW/status/1394218439833759749#m [17:05] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-nitter.cc | PartOfThePuzzle (@WakkerW): "techrights.org/wiki/index.ph" | nitter [17:37] Techrights-sec storm over ####################################### [17:37] schestowitz__ you said something about "lightning" and then went offline [17:38] Techrights-sec yes, an electrical storm passed over and necessitated powering just about everything down [17:38] schestowitz__ I love how we get clips from video sites, if they're topical and help inspire some articles etc. re FS [17:40] Techrights-sec ok, I'll try to make note of any others I run across. [17:40] Techrights-sec It'd be nice to have transcripts for the clips but that is work. [17:40] schestowitz__ around 20 hits/sec today in TR, mostly because of the Gates/SPD docs [17:41] Techrights-sec Gates is busy trying to distract the press by throwing out minor scandals to [17:41] Techrights-sec them [17:42] schestowitz__ maybe you can find some credible videos about the real scandal, I think that can help [17:42] Techrights-sec Weren't there dozens (or more) of sexual harrassment claims settled out of [17:42] Techrights-sec court at M$ over the years? [17:43] Techrights-sec Anyway the focus needs to remain on Software Freedom and the rest is just [17:43] Techrights-sec a means to advance towards that goal. [17:43] Techrights-sec I've not seen any credible videos on that topic. [17:44] Techrights-sec There is some common territory with RtR though and collaboration on [17:44] Techrights-sec the software aspects can be mutually beneficial. [17:44] schestowitz__ it is certainly under-explored. Keep digging up clips and we'll do more articles on this. You can give me witty quotes, too. [17:44] schestowitz__ am working on 3 epo posts atm [17:45] Techrights-sec EPO behavior is a big barrier to a lot of things in Europe, [17:45] schestowitz__ it's a LONG and BIG fight. I don't tire. [17:46] schestowitz__ we also have powerful allies [17:50] Techrights-sec that helps. the crooks have a lot of well-placed money in the EC and EP [17:50] Techrights-sec Only a few politicians in total have any idea of software and its role [17:50] Techrights-sec in society nowadays ● May 17 [18:19] schestowitz__ whoa. TR traffic just surged to over 100MB/sec. Never seen this before... many requests for the right to repair videos. [18:21] Techrights-sec They cover the intersection of several groups and interests. [18:44] Techrights-sec Next time transcripts will help, but they delay publication. ● May 17 [19:06] Techrights-sec https://nitter.cc/cheezburgrmania/status/1394333604235382788#m [19:06] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-nitter.cc | C'Burgr Young (@cheezburgrmania): "Even so, I'm sorry they outsourced Domino/iNotes." | nitter ● May 17 [21:29] schestowitz__ http://ipkitten.blogspot.com/2021/05/vaccine-platforms-and-limited-global.html?showComment=1621262017389#c1195580908283794739 [21:29] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.com | Vaccine platforms and limited global production capacity: what is to be done? - The IPKat [21:29] schestowitz__ " [21:29] schestowitz__ Patents hindering production is only true for the production in a country where such a patent is valid (or applied for). That production in lower and middle-income countries would be hampered by patents is an assumption that I have not yet seen backed up by FTO studies that indicate which patents in which countries would be blocking. As far as I have experience in the patent coverage of life sciences patents, these hardly are [21:29] schestowitz__ filed and prosecuted in lower and middle-income countries (of course there will always be some exceptions). [21:29] schestowitz__ Thus, to my opinion, the problem of patent hindrance for which a waiver would be the solution, does not even exist. But even then, the current stance of the matter is indeed that -because of the pricing and limited production capacity - only the richer countries are able to provide vaccines to their people. It would be better that help programs, such as the COVAX initiative are broadly supported. [21:29] schestowitz__ "
